nRF52840 DK can not advertising extension when using zephyr nRF Connect SDK v1.6.1

[yuyin]

HW : nRF52840DK

SW :  nRF3.7.0 desktop tool

          nRF Connect SDK v1.6.1

IDE: SES

Project: periodic_sync or periodic_adv

Operation:

1. build -> rebuild the solution,  success;

2. Target -> Download zephyr/zephyr.elf,  success;

result: 

nRF52840DK LED1 blink , no any advertising packet can be received.

 

Anyone can help me why the extend adv pkt can not received, and how should I do correctly?

Hi, 

Do you have another DK running periodic_adv at the same time?

Your project can work on my side.

Try to reload the project or reopen the Segger project to make the config effective.

Hi Amanda,

I reopen the SES several times, the issue still exist. 

I have two questions :

Q1:  Did you rebuild the SDK based on v1.6.1 I gave you before download it? is it possible the problem related to SES (v5.50d 64-bits) config?

Q2:  Why my platform can not log output?  and how could i fix this?

I use the zephyr.hex under periodic_sync_v01\build_nrf52840dk_nrf52840 and rebuild with the same version of SES as yours. Both two can work.

Do you use the correct serial port of the DK via Device manager Windows? You could try another one. Or maybe you would try thisperiodic_sync.zip.

Hi Amanda ,

which board you test the issue, 52840 Preview DK or 52840 DK board?

I am using the  52840 Preview DK, does it have the problem?

The PC I am using only have one serial port via DK.

OK, thank you for your reply timely.
